Doc Text:	A vulnerability was found in the Intel IDPF (Ethernet Driver for PF) in the Linux kernel, introduced in version 6.7. This flaw causes a kernel panic when the driver encounters an unknown packet type. The issue occurs because the driver fails to call `eth_type_trans` to set the correct protocol handler for the packet, which is especially problematic when tools such as `tcpdump` are running.
